Lethal Injection Spotlight

June 17th, 2014 by Mike Vasilinda

Florida is one of three states with executions scheduled this week. They are the first since a botched execution in Oklahoma in May.

John Henry is scheduled to die on Wednesday for the murder of his ex wife and her son just a few days before Christmas in 1985. Governor Rick Scott says he isn’t concerned about potential problems.

“So again, what I do is focus on making sure that we do things the right way here. I think about the right way of doing these things. Its a solemn duty to do this, but what I think about the whole time is the families” says Scott

Henry’s lawyers are arguing he is not mentally competent to be executed with an estimated IQ of 78. Georgia and Missouri are the other two states with lethal injections scheduled this week.
